Trying to spoof my iMac's MAC Address
Once I type in
"sudo ifconfig en1 ether 10:9a:dd:xx:xx:xx" terminal accepts the command however I can no longer connect to WIFI.
It apparently connects but can not retrieve a DHCP IP. I try manually setting the IP and no luck either. Can anyone offer some help?
On OSX 10.11.5 (El Capitan)

p.s. when I reboot, I can connect fine to any wireless network (also resets the MAC addy)

read the ifconfig man page. I'm sure it has something in there talking about why that would happen. If not, check the wpasupplicant man page (assuming you use that in your system).

yeah cause you need to change it on the wls1 interface

I didn't see anything on the ifconfig man page....
Interesting to point out, when I change my MAC address to a fake one, I can't connect. But when I manually change it back to the proper one, it connects fine.

do you spoof to a legit mac that can connect to that wifi?
is that device connected when you spoof?

sudo ifconfig en1 down
sudo ifconfig en1 ether 10:9a:dd:xx:xx:xx
sudo ifconfig en1 up
?

en1 needs to be powered up to change mac addy.
